Hissene Habre: ICJ rules Senegal must try ex-Chad leader immediately
The International Court of Justice has ruled that Senegal must begin proceedings to try Chad's former leader Hissene Habre "without delay".
Otherwise, he should be extradited to face trial in Belgium, the court's legally binding ruling said.
The 69 year old has been been under house arrest since 2005 in Senegal, where he fled after being deposed.
He denies charges of killing and torturing tens of thousands of his opponents.
